This video shares my experience of building and riding a Merida Scultura roadbike. This is their CF5 carbon frame with Team Bahrain Victorious design. I built it with Merida handlebar, DEDA seatpost, Astute saddle, Dura Ace groupset and Winspace HYPER 50 wheelset. This bike rides lovely, and I love it:)

    Me English learner, I added a caption in the video, in case I pronounce some words wrong.

    Thanks for watching.

    1. I love your narration and bike philosophy! Your approach comes from a place of love, not condemnation. I feel like most reviewers feel they have to point out negatives, but you embrace the bike and speak about how it makes you feel. Very refreshing review!
